Great for these types of students

This is a great school for students who do not have alot of money or transportation. The prices in all areas are reasonal. This college gives education that one would expect from an unversity.

Tips for prospective students

Ask your professors when you need help. They are always willing and have time.

Bang for the buck

The taxes have recently gone up but despite that the prices are exceptionally reasonal for the education.

Am enjoying being here

The activities are always active. There are usually 5 activities per month and always low priced!

Am learning a lot

This is the most advanced in curriculum to only be a community college! Its one of the most flexible and convenient schools with advisors that are always available to answer any of my questions! The library has an excellent amount of books to choose from and the quiet space is even better. The bookstore could be a little bigger but overall it has all that a student could ever ask for. The professors are always available for questioning as well. Its a great school to consider.

Gabriella from Marlton, NJ

if you don't know what you want to do yet with your life, go to BCC take basic classes and maybe you'll figure out what you want to do next.

Tips for prospective students

Try to decide where you want to go after BCC BEFORE you go there and then every semester meet with a transfer counselor to make sure your credits/ classes will transfer to your new school

Bang for the buck

Very cheap for great education, you'll save SO much money staying home your first two years of college, when post people don't even know what they want to do yet anyway you can just take basic classes.

Did enjoy being here

I know a lot of people hate BCC, but I honestly loved it. it was so much better than high school. even though I still live at home, I don't mind, BCC is a great school

Did learn a lot

I did learn a lot, even though it's a community college the teacher were great and i learn a lot from them

LeeAnne from Browns Mills, NJ

BCC is great for all types of students, even if you have a tight schedule.

Tips for prospective students

Make sure you register for your classes early so that you get the classes and times that best fit your schedule. Also don't forget about the free tutoring services, they are there to help you.

Bang for the buck

I believe that for the quality of education that i am receiving, the tuition at BCC is a very good deal to get your college education. I have been paying around $4000 per year in tuition. This would count for both fall and spring semesters 12-13 credits each, and usually 2 summer session classes 3 credits each.

Am enjoying being here

I have enjoyed attending BCC, they have many areas to sit and study between classes or grab a quick bite to eat. They also have many free resources for the students (for example... the library, tutoring services, counselors, student lounge). Additionally they have many trips and activities you can sign up for during the year.

Am learning a lot

I feel like i have learned alot at BCC. The teachers for the most part are knowledgeable in there subjects. I have been able to become interested in areas of study that i never thought i would be, because the teachers know what they are doing and make it as interesting as they can.

there are many places in new jersey that can be visited at anytime. the shores, malls, and other exceptional places that any individual can go to.

Food and Dining

many places where you have a good time with friends.

Academic Rigor

excellent

Tips for prospective students

when perspective students are looking for the college of their choice, they need to have questions made ready for the colleges they are visiting. whether it comes to financial aid, loans, or other resources that could help them to pay for their college education.

In three sentences

What to do for fun

you can hang out in the cafeteria or the gym. theres even a lobby filled with pool tables and a tv. there are even a couple sports teams you can join. it's relaxing to just sit down and study or hangout with a couple of friends.

Food and Dining

food is good, but a tad pricey. but, at least the food is edible!

Dorm Life

there is no dorm life. this is a community college.

Academic Rigor

teachers are quite excellent. the education here is worth learning. just do your work, and study hard so in the end it will be rewarding.

Tips for prospective students

1. study hard 2. procrastination is a no-no 3. strive for what you want no matter how difficult it may be. 4. get ready, get set, go.

In three sentences

bcc helps you discover what you really want in life. it helps build you as a person. it is what you make of it, so study hard and enjoy what you have.

BCC Student (RG)

Public safety is always making their rounds around the campus. Also they are easy to be reached by phone or in person.

Greek Life

As far as I know, there are none.

Clubs and Activities

There are numerous clubs to join. Such as Student Government, Drama Club (Lamplight Players), Equestrian Club, or even clubs that pertain to your given major such as Business or Nursing. Also they offer numerous on campus, as well as off campus activities.

Great for these types of students

Great for graduating high school students who want to begin small to bump up there GPA, or start getting a great education (completing general education courses) at a cheaper price. Also great for adults who wish to continue their education.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I cannot think of any.

Bang for the buck

For a whole academic year (fall and spring semester) you could estimate to spend about $3,000 a year. Plus it's community college so you'll only be there for about two years. $6,000 for two years is much better than say $15,000 for one year at some of these other big name colleges, that through Burlington County College you can transfer to anyways through there guaranteed admissions program. Also the education you receive through Burlington County College is truly top notch. It is as if your first two years of college were spent attending a traditional 4 year college.

What to do for fun

The office of student activities offers access to lounge areas. From huge plasma screen to pool tables, the lounge is a great place to relax between classes and hang out. The cafeteria is close by so you can grab a bite to eat as well! Lots of campus events are free! Major campus events often have reduced prices for students (or you can get in free by being a part of the event staff or a student volunteer!). They also offer off-campus bus trips to D.C., Baltimore and NYC with prices for tickets that range from $10 to $35!

Food and Dining

The cafeteria food is very appetizing. I enjoy their breakfast and lunch options. As well as there vending machines filled with snacks. Or the campus store filled with lots of goodies.

Dorm Life

Burlington County College is a commuter college. Therefore there are no dorms. However, Burlington County College has partnered with Places4Students.com. This company specializes in off-campus housing solutions for students. This service is free for all students to find a place to live off-campus or in finding a roommate. Students do not need to register to search for listings.

Academic Rigor

The academics, as far as my major goes, at Burlington County College is great. I have learned so many new things. Each new day in my classes is a great one- no matter if that day just so happens to be dull- because you are always learning!

Tips for prospective students

Be prepared to learn and do work. Yes, college is fun. And, yes, this is a community college, however this college takes into serious consideration the future possibilities of your college career. They put you academically in a position where if you decide to, you can transfer to a number of their guaranteed colleges to continue your education. Also the college offers many opportunities for its students. Whether it be extracurricular, academic, or job based, Burlington County College has knowledgeable people there to help you along the way. Keep an open mind, be prepared to work hard (and even play hard!), and you will succeed.

In three sentences

Burlington County College is a great place to start off if you know you want to begin your college courses, and still have the ability to search for university or college you want. It gives you access to all the general requirements you could possibly need to acquire your degree. The college is flexible, dependable, and very knowledgeable in all areas that they offer.

Jennifer from Willingboro, NJ

i believe there is a few greek organizations on campus, but i am not 100% sure

Clubs and Activities

vast array of clubs, activities, and organizations to choose from

Great for these types of students

great for both full-time and part-time students, as well as non-tradition students such as myself, who have full-time jobs, children, or other responsibilities

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

there are many different locations of bcc campuses, plus satellite classrooms for courses so many people can attend wherever is more convenient for them.

Bang for the buck

i feel i get a quality education comparable to other local community colleges and 4 year universities because i have some of the same instructors as the pricey universities for a far more affordable price.

What to do for fun

there are plenty of student events always going on to keep you busy between classes or studying! trips are always planned, plus the theatre hosts 2 plays a year.

Food and Dining

the cafeteria food is pretty good, as is the stuff sold in the vending machines and school stores.

Dorm Life

no dorms :(

Academic Rigor

all the professors and subject i've had i can honestly say were worthwhile and enjoyable, as well as very informative.

Tips for prospective students

take advantage of the free tutoring, and study hard!

In three sentences

bcc's motto is we'll get you there and they really do. there are a lot of majors to choose from, and the teachers are all real time experienced in the subjects they teach. bcc is a lot of fun to attend and gives you the true college experience close to home.

Great for these types of students

Great for students struggling financially or not sure what to major in yet.

Bang for the buck

I definitely recommend going to a community college for the first two years. It will save you thousands of dollars and you still can transfer and get the same degree as if you went there for four years.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria food isn't too bad and there's plenty of places close by to get food. Also plenty of places to grab food and sit down and study like Panera or Starbucks.

Academic Rigor

An advantage of smaller classes is that the professors are more willing and have more time to work with you. The main professors have office hours and the adjunct professors are very willing to meet up or help however they can.

Tips for prospective students

If you are planning to transfer to another school, talk to an advisor at the school you want to transfer to to make sure all of your courses will transfer.

In three sentences

Going to BCC for the first two years of school will save you a lot of money and they have quite a few programs with other schools that guarantee admission. I would recommend this to anyone.

Campus Safety

I've never had any problems. This is a safe area of New Jersey, as a rule, and while no place is totally crime-free, there's absolutely no reason to take any more but the usual, common-sense precautions you'd take anywhere, especially if you're a woman and alone. (Stay in well-lit areas at night, lock your car doors, don't leave valuables in sight, etc.)

Clubs and Activities

The disadvantage of being a college which teaches a lot of working and non-traditional students is that many people, even if they want to participate in the campus clubs, simply don't have the time. So the clubs aren't necessarily as big or active as they are at a more traditional college. However, there are enough and they're active enough that you'll find a place to fit in and make some friends.

Great for these types of students

Great for non-traditional and working students, as well as students who are in financial difficulty. I've found that the advisers have an overriding goal of making sure that everyone who wants to have an education can have a chance at one, and they'll spend a lot of time hashing everything out with you so you can get that chance.

Bang for the buck

In the end, you don't go to BCC for a top-shelf education. You go for a good quality education at a reasonable price, and you go for a good chance to get into a good four-year. (For instance, BCC has a guaranteed transfer agreement with Rutgers, whereby if you keep you GPA at or above the required level and finish the appropriate classes you're guaranteed admission to Rutgers for the last two years of your degree.) By that metric, this is an excellent school. And don't worry about how going to a community college looks on your record - nobody really looks at the first two years of undergrad.

What to do for fun

Unfortunately, there isn't much night life right next to campus. However, just take route 38 into Philadelphia and you'll find all the fun you want. If you're feeling artistic, check out the Museum of Art. If you're feeling gruesome and/or are majoring in biology or nursing, you'll definitely want to take a trip to the Mutter Museum of medical oddities at the College of Physicians of Philadelphia. For some fun clubs and a good selection of quality, inexpensive restaurants and bars, go to the Northern Liberties section of Philly, where there's a high population of students and recent grads and where you can inevitably find something fun to do and some like-minded people to do it with.

Food and Dining

It's a cafeteria. You expected gourmet?

Dorm Life

There is no student housing at BCC.

Academic Rigor

I'll admit, this isn't a prestigious institution. It's a springboard and a place to get a good basic college education. (Or to take certification courses to learn some very specific career skills.) However, the professors in my experience have almost always been professional, prepared, and knowledgeable. They are not the best of the best, no, but this is not an Ivy League institution and being the best of the best is not its role. This is a very good community college with an active role in its community, and it performs its job both competently and ethically.

Tips for prospective students

Be pro-active. You will get out of this experience what you put in to it. Don't just sit back and glide through it - research, go to transfer workshops if you intend to transfer, and join a club. The connections you make will help you move forward, and by standing out as motivated and engaged you'll make it much easier for opportunities to find you.

In three sentences

A supportive environment and dedicated faculty give both traditional and non-traditional students an opportunity to further their education, polish their career credentials, and to do it while saving money on tuition costs. Despite the lower cost, the education offered at Burlington County College is a solid foundation for students who intend to go on to four-year colleges or even beyond. In addition to that, BCC offers many certifications for those who have turned to continuing education to change career or to advance further in their current career.

Stanley from Tabernacle, NJ

Hang out in the lounge and meet new people, or go to the gym and work out.

Food and Dining

BCC offers a cafeteria with pretty tasty food.

Dorm Life

No dorms

Academic Rigor

As long as you pay attention, study hard, and do what the professor asks then you will be in the clear.

Tips for prospective students

Don't expect it to be a CCC aka crummy community college because Burlington County College is far from it.

In three sentences

It is a friendly environment that welcomes new college students as well as returning students. The professors are not only smart, but they are incredibly nice too. This was a great choice for college not only for what I have previously stated, but also for how affordable it is.

What to do for fun

There are many different clubs that a student can join to enhance their social life. There are also many different events that take place every month in order to encourage students to take part in student social life on campus. There is a monthly email that goes out to all students in order to notify everyone of the month's events.

Food and Dining

There are many different locations on campus to grab a bite in between classes. One of the locations is a complete cafeteria that also serves as a good location to socialize with fellow students. Another location to buy food is in the lobby of the main building on the Mount Laurel Campus. There is a coffee cart that also sales various sandwiches and snacks. There are also many vending machines located throughout the campus.

Dorm Life

Does not have dorms, it's a community college.

Academic Rigor

Professors provide challenging work for students, but will do anything they can to provide extra help if needed. Professors are very good at trying to make sure all students understand key concepts needed for exams.

Tips for prospective students

Plan your schedule ahead of time. Classes tend to fill up quickly. Use the tutoring center frequently. It's free, why not make use of all advantages available to you.

In three sentences

Burlington County College provides an excellent education, while still providing different extracurricular activities for students with diverse interests. The college is a community college, but it still manages to give you the college experience with the various on campus events. They also manage to provide students with many different locations on campus for either socializing with friends or even getting some studying done.

Great for these types of students

Adults returning back to school, while working full time and/or have a family.

Bang for the buck

At $200/credit for out of state, and an accrediated degree that can be applied to just about any other school - BCC can't be beat.

What to do for fun

I don't know about this.

Dorm Life

I will not be living in the dorms. In fact, I don't believe they *have* dorms.

Academic Rigor

I don't yet know what the academic rigor is.

Tips for prospective students

Look up your finacial information on your own, and work with Fafsa. Don't expect their financial aid department to go out of their way for you. They are overworked, and will only push you over to their website. They will not help you create a plan on your own.

In three sentences

Burlington County College is the best college for me because they have both online and in class programs. It is also the most affordable of any of the schools in the area. And, going there will give me preference when I apply to Rutgers for my BA in History.

Campus Safety

I always felt safe on campus.

Great for these types of students

Students who wish to save money. College can be extremely expensive, so helping to save will only benefit you in the long run. (and your parents) Burlington County College can be transferred to numerous institutions when the time comes.

What to do for fun

There are clubs that anyone can join. Near by there is a massive shopping center to grab lunch.

Food and Dining

They had vending machines all over!! Never ate in the cafeteria.

Dorm Life

I commuted.

Academic Rigor

Each one of my professors handed out some type of syllabus, so from day one, you knew what you were getting yourself into. You knew then how hard you would need to study. Nothing is handed to you in college and you need to be willing to put in the effort. It's not an easy A.

Tips for prospective students

Be sure to arrive early to class so that you can settle in and not feel rushed. Participate as much as possible because professors take note. In addition, introduce yourself to one or two other students in the beginning of the semester because there may be a group project later on.

In three sentences

Each one of Burlington County Colleges campuses were easily accessible. The professors at this establishment had the students best interests in mind, and I have made multiple staff recommendations to fellow students. It was a very pleasant and enjoyable experience.

Ashley from Delran, NJ

I haven't been involved in any clubs and activities yet but they do offer them at BCC.

Great for these types of students

BCC is great for any type of student that is seeking a quality education.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

None that I can think of.

What to do for fun

For fun I like to read, play sports and spend time with my family.

Dorm Life

I live at home.

Tips for prospective students

Take advantage of all the opportunities BCC has to offer.

In three sentences

I think BCC has a lot of great opportunities for an economical education locally. They have partnered with several Universities for students to continue their studies at the college. It is almost like a one stop shopping for education.

Ana from Trenton, NJ

Campus safety is very important to Burlington County College. The college has a series of video surveillance. The security guards are also very diligent.

Bang for the buck

Burlington County College offers the second lowest tuition rates in the State of New Jersey.

Food and Dining

There is no cafeteria at the moment. The school does, however, have various vending machines. The school also has carts that sell bagels and hot beverages.

Dorm Life

Since Burlington County College is a County college, it does not offer dorms.

Academic Rigor

The amount of academic rigor varies from student to student. As in all colleges, the amount of work put in by the student determines the student's success. Burlington County College is no exception.

Tips for prospective students

New students, be sure to meet with councilors; they are very helpful when planning schedules. Remember to arrive to campus early to find a good parking space. Last, but not least, remember to talk to the instructors if there is a problem; Burlington County College has great, supportive instructors.

Nakedde from Mt. Holly, NJ

I love the activities they offer, most are free or little in price. Some activities include your family. I love that.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

I do courses online as well as in school. I go to all location related to BCC.

What to do for fun

I work full-time, and go to school full-time, not to mention that I have a family at home. I don't have down time.

Food and Dining

I don't eat out

Academic Rigor

I believe I've learned a great deal and my mind has been opened to other things and other thinking.

Tips for prospective students

I believe the only down fall is with advising. I planned my year out because I felt I had a better understanding of what courses I needed, as I took courses that I did not need, nor was I told I did not need the course. Tuition is not cheap.

In three sentences

I like this community college. I've been a student here since the fall of 2011; graduating after the fall of 2013. It's been a bit challenging, but worth it's weight in gold.

Campus Safety

When your on the Campus I feel really safe , because the campus police and staff work really hard to make sure me and my fellow classmates are safe out of any dangers that might happen. They are well prepared of anything happens.

Clubs and Activities

BCC has the most awesome clubs and activites. Basically everybody can join a club and activity that is just for them. We have new clubs coming and everybody has a blast. Everybody is very nice and you will get along with everybody there.

Tips for prospective students

For the students who wants to come here. You will have a great time. There are four campuses ( Willingboro, Mt. Holly, Mt. Laural and Pemberton) if you pick either one of these four you will enjoy the time that you spend there. You will learn to make new things come true and you will meet such the friendlist people there. Between staff, students , campus police, everybody is there for different reasons and nobody is the same. Between sports and clubs we have the best that anybody could ever offer anywhere else.

In three sentences

If I had to rate Burlington County College in three sentences I would give them a five star. I know personally nobody wants to go yo a community college, but in reality it help you out alot. It saves you money and distance if something was to happen to kinda know somebody to help you out.

If you focus on earning a degree in a uprising career of your interest this is your school! Everyone understands that this may be a new experience, and that why the advisors are always willing to help and listen.

In three sentences

Burlington County College gives helpful advice to students that are considering to attend or already are current students. Flexible class schedules help those in the community to gain their education even in the hectic each person may have. Overall if you're looking for a school with a goal in mind there is no reason to miss the score at Burlington County College.

Desiree from Mount Holly, NJ

Security does their job!! You must a valid sticker on your vehicle, and ID in order to be on campus.

Greek Life

Tons of frats, and activities to get involved in.

Clubs and Activities

Basketball, Cheer-leading, Checkers, Gay Clubs, Career clubs, and list goes on and on. There are tons of activities at BCC that are made view-able both on campus and online.

Great for these types of students

If your the kind of student who enjoys to the convenience of deciding where you want to take a course then this school is for you. Classes are held early in the morning, later in the evening, weekends, and even online.

Share any unusual traditions or locations on campus

Nothings Unusual. Although there are several locations of my school. Campuses are located in Mt. Laurel, Willingboro, and Pemberton.

Bang for the buck

Definitely worth the money! College is expensive no matter where you go, but BCC offers the most affordable tuition in the state of New Jersey, and also prepares students for continuing their education in higher levels.

What to do for fun

Join activities such as clubs, sports, and get involved in employment opportunities available on campus.

Food and Dining

The cafe on campus is great, but the external restaurants surrounding the campuses are even greater! Chickfil'a, Fridays, Burger King, and even the Moorestown Mall is just a few miles down the road from campus.

Dorm Life

NO dorms

Academic Rigor

You academics are what you make it to be. The amount of effort put in will reflect on the final grade!

Tips for prospective students

College is not a joke, and should be taken very seriously because it will have a huge effect on your overall GPA. This school will preps you for real life. BCC teaches responsibility, making effort in your work.

In three sentences

Best college for preparation of higher education. This college will put you on the right track for the real world. Tutoring is made available for those in need.

People talk about a community college so terribly, but the classes are very hard as any other college is.

Tips for prospective students

Nothing to be afraid of.

In three sentences

This college is pretty cool. Classes are somewhat small like a regular classroom. The occasional older professors and such walking around wanting to approach you like a little high school student, but nothing major most of the time. The Mount Laurel campus is the same old annoying people from the town, but throughout all of the campuses I am sure some good friends can be made.

Tariq from Delran, NJ

In my time here I heard of one incident that involved campus safety and it was an external event that turned out to be a false alarm. You should be perfectly safe at BCC.

Greek Life

The closest I've seen to this is Phi Theta Kappa which is an honor society.

Clubs and Activities

The most active clubs I've seen on campus are Student Government, the international club, and the drama club. Of these three I'd say the MOST active is the international. They hold many events and often get decent attendance. If you are from outside the country you should definitely enter this club. There also about 20 other perfectly fine clubs, but these three are the most prevalent.

Great for these types of students

Great for students on a low budget. Great for students looking to remake their educational image. Great for adults looking to go back to school.

Bang for the buck

Like I said in the previous section it's a great way to get a degree from a larger college for a smaller price. It's also a great way to simply get a less costly degree. if that's your choice

What to do for fun

Mostly you have to make your own fun, but there are a few other things to do. There's a Funplex right of the highway behind the Mount Laurel campus of BCC. If your into that sort of thing. There's also theatre performances and some interesting school events that occur from time to time. Depending on you interests there are also a few clubs that you could join, meet friends, and participate in activites.

Food and Dining

The cafeteria's decent, but nothing exceptionally special. It's fine to go in and get a snack or deli sandwich from time to time. I personally usually get food from the surrounding restaurants and fast food places when I need nourishment.

Dorm Life

I know there are dorms, but I haven't used them because I have an easy commute from my home. My rating is based simply on speculation of what I've read & heard.

Academic Rigor

I believe you get what you pay for in this department. There are teachers who are good in their area of expertise and teachers who are good at teaching, but you don't always get the combination of the two. There are, even still, a few simply bad teachers, but among these there are some excellent professors that have a passion for what they do and combine the first two elements of teaching I mentioned earlier. Also the work you get is at a nice medium difficulty. It's not too light or too hard in my opinion. I will restate, I believe you get what you pay for in terms of academic rigor.

Tips for prospective students

Be sure consistently follow up on documents you submit or ought to receive. Sadly things often get lost in the sauce. Also be sure to be aware of deadlines, because you may miss some great opportunities.

In three sentences

For some Burlington County College is a great segue to other, larger colleges and for others it's an affordable way to earn a degree. I can say it served both purposes for me as I am well on my way to transfer with an associates degree. BCC is a great, affordable way to get the degree you want, whether you finish there or transfer.

a student

The great thing about community college is you are free to travel on the weekends. Go visit universities or friends away at college to get a feel of what living away is really like.

Food and Dining

Home cooked meals!

Dorm Life

Your own shower! Bed!

Academic Rigor

Most teachers are very good at what they do and have previously taught at university's. BCC is one of the best academic community colleges around. You will really feel like you are getting a college education.

Tips for prospective students

Don't rule out community college right away. It is a great way to save money then transfer to get the degree you want from a 4-year university.

In three sentences

Burlington County College is a great option for both students just trying to get an associates and then go off to work but also students transferring later to a 4year school. The community college helps you find the exact major you want to pursue while getting college credits that are easy to transfer and way cheaper than a university. Plus you get your own bed and shower!

What to do for fun

There are a lot of student life activities and sports. When I visited the campus, there was a poster up for a dance that was planned for that Friday for students.

Food and Dining

I have never eaten on campus but from others have told me the food is okay.

Being a community college there are no dorms.

Academic Rigor

From what I can tell from my experiences as a daughter of a BCC alumni, the academics are not as hard as they can be. The professors are really nice and understanding. When I was younger, the professor let me and my sisters sit in on a lecture because my mom didn't have anywhere else for us to go.

Tips for prospective students

When you apply to BCC make sure you ask all the questions you have regarding the program you are enrolling in. Try to get in contact with the director of the program before you fully commit to it. Most directors will tell you classes that you should take before you go into the program.
